《老人与海》-海明威__摘抄

1．每一天都是一个新的日子。走运当然是好的，不过我情愿做到分毫不差。这样，运气来的时候，你就有所准备了。(Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.)

2．不过话得说回来，没有一桩事是容易的。(But，then，nothing is easy.)

3．一个人并不是生来就要被打败的，人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败(A man is not made for defeat，a man can be destroyed but not defeated.）

4．陆地上空的云块这时候像山冈般耸立着，海岸只剩下一长条绿色的线，背后是些灰青色的小山.海水此刻呈现蓝色，深的简直发紫了.(The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it. The water was a dark blue now，so dark that it was almost purple.)

5．现在不是去想缺少什么的时候，该想一想凭现有的东西你能做什么。(Now is no time to think of what you do not have. Think of what you can do with what there is.)

6．人不抱希望是很傻的。( It is silly not to hope，he thought.)

7．但是这些伤疤中没有一块是新的。它们像无鱼可打的沙漠中被侵蚀的地方一般古老。他身上的一切都显得古老，除了那双眼睛，它们像海水一般蓝，喜气洋洋而不肯认输的。(But none of these scars were fresh. They were as old as erosions in a fishless desert. Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated.)

8．这两个肩膀挺怪，人非常老迈了，肩膀却依然很强健，脖子也依然很壮实，而且当老人睡着了，脑袋向前耷拉着的时候，皱纹也不大明显了。(They were strange shoulders，still powerful although very old，and the neck was still strong too and the creases did not show so much when the old man was asleep and his head fallen forward.)

9．他的衬衫上不知打了多少次补丁，弄得像他那张帆一样，这些补丁被阳光晒得褪成了许多深浅不同的颜色。(His shirt had been patched so many times that it was like the sail and the patches were faded to many different shades by the sun.)
